DONE DEAL: Tottenham target signs for Sevilla

The 31-year-old star has signed a two-year deal with Europa League winners Sevilla.

The ex-Celta Vigo ace moves on a free transfer after his contract expired earlier this month.

A statement from his new side read: "Sevilla have signed Michael Krohn-Dehli for the next two seasons, with an optional third."

Starsport revealed last month that the north London side were interested in securing Krohn-Dehli.

Mauricio Pochettino had identified the ex-Brondby man as the player to bring the best out of Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb.

But Sevilla have beaten them in the race to sign Krohn-Dehli and he has become the first signing of their 2015/16 campaign.

The La Liga side were unlucky to miss out on Champions League football this season.

Unai Emery's team finished just a point behind Valencia in fifth position.

Celta Vigo had held onto hope of keeping Krohn-Dehli.

Back in March, the club's sporting director said: "The length of the contract is negotiable. I am optimistic about the negotiations. I am sure that Celta are Michael's first priority.

"In fact, I have no doubt because I think he is very happy, the fans love him, he knows how important he is to the team, in the dressing room; and for the coach, since he arrived, he has been an important player."
